TWIN BOTTLE-HOLDER.

Application filed February 17, 1919.

T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MAUD C. TRAVIS, a citizen of the United States ofAmerica, residing at Dora, in the county of Walker and State of Alabama,have invented new and useful Improvements in Twin Bottle-Holders, ofwhich the following is a specification.

The purpdse of the invention is to provide a device designed to hold andthereby to keep together two bottles, the contents of one of which isparticularly serviceable to use in conjunction with the contents of theother such as for instance a bottle containing iodin and one containingstain remover. Unique means is provided for holding the bottles togetherand for detaching one or the other from the holder as desired.

The invention is illustrated and described in a specific embodiment, towhich, however, it is not to be restricted. The right is reserved tomake such changes or alterations as the actual reduction to practice maysuggest, in so far as such changes or alterations are compatible inspirit with the annexed claim. The drawings illustrate the invention asa holder for two bottles, but it is obvious that the structure of theholder may be modified so that it may be employed to hold three or morebottles, the invention being susceptible to this change withoutdeparting from the spirit thereof.

In the accompanying drawings:

Figure 1. is a view in side elevation of the improved device.

Fig. 2 is a central vertical sectional view through the holder, butshows the bottles contents therein in elevation.

Fig. 3 is a section on the line 33 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 4 is a bottom plan view of the structure of Fig. 1.

Referring to the drawings, the invention is shown as comprising a twinholder for the bottles 1, this twin holder comprising the upper sections2 conforming to the shape of the upper ends of the bottles and havingopenings therein to permit the passage therethrough of the necks 3 ofthe bottles. These top sections 2 are spaced away from the bottomsections 4, the latter being shaped preferably like annular bandsdesigned to surround the bottles at the bottom. Body portions 5 connectthe top por- Specification of Letters Patent.

tions 2 and the bottom portions 4 and these two body portions 5 areunited by a web portion 6 extending for the greater part of the lengthof the two sections. By means of the web portion the two holders properare held in slight spaced relation to each other and the bottom ortionsor annular bands are thus permitted to receive the detachable bottomcaps 7, which are held on the annular portions 4 frictionally, althoughit is obvious that the engagement of these caps may be effected by meansof threaded connections, a common mechanical expedient.

The bottles 1 are placed in the two holders by inserting the same intothe holders from the bottoms after the caps 7 have been re moved, thebottles being inserted neck foremost until the necks pass through theopenings prepared for them at the top portions 2. The bottom caps 7 arethen attached and the two bottles are thus secured in their re spectiveholders, which being connected together serve to keep the two bottlesalways together so that the one may be always found with the other.

The character of the holder is such that the contents of the bottles maybe used without removal from the holder.

From the foregoing description and the accompanying drawings, it isbelieved that a clear enough understanding of the invention is to be hadto render further description unnecessary.

The invention having been described what is claimed as new and usefulis:

As a new article of manufacture, a bottle holder comprising a pluralnumber of bottle holding sections each formed with an upper portionconforming to the shape of the upper portion of a bottle to be placedtherein, each upper portion having an opening through which may projectthe neck of the bottle, each section being further formed with anannular band portion and with a body portion uniting this band portionto the upper portion, the band portion being designed to surround abottle adjacent its bottom, and removable caps engaging the said bandportions for the useful purpose specified.

In testimony whereof I allix my signature.

Mas. MAUD C. TRAVIS.
